Chapter 79
Upon leaving the bar, Renee said goodbye to Zack and the other lawyers and stood alone by theroadside to wait for her ride.
The cool night breeze brushed against her cheeks, making her feel refreshed.
Her figure was graceful in the white dress, her hair fluttering slightly in the wind like a waterfall. Therewas not much emotion on her delicate face, but there was a hint of sadness there, as if it hid manystories.
Quite a few men stopped their cars and either honked or whistled at her, wanting to take her for a ride,but she scared them away with her fierce gaze.
Another car stopped nearby. Renee was ready to roll her eyes again. The window slowly rolled down toshow Stefan inside.
Her gaze changed from a fierce one to a cold one, as if she did not even know him.
“Need a ride?”
Stefan invited in a low voice.
“Nope, wouldn’t want you to go out of your way!”
A direct refusal from Renee.
Stefan: ” ”
Go out of his way? They lived next to each other.
But, it seemed the woman’s dislike of him was obvious. She was not even trying to hide it.
What Stefan could not figure out was, if she really had no feelings for him, how could she become theauthor of the most popular fanfic about them? She did not seem like she had multiple personalitydisorder.
There’s only one explanation – she’s pretending!
Upon coming to that conclusion, Stefan’s mood suddenly brightened.
He did not even mind Renee publicly embarrassing him in the bar earlier anymore. He told himself thatit was because women always acted contrary to how they really felt.
With his long fingers on the steering wheel, Stefan tilted his head slightly and told Renee, “Get in thecar. I’ll tell you some things about the Hunts & Co. Law Firm. The law firm isn’t as simple as you think itis.”

“I’m alright, thanks.”
Renee smiled and lifted her chin high like a swan, aloof and proud. “I think I can handle it, at leastbetter than you can.”
Stefan’s eyes darkened for a moment. He said, “You really think everything would be smooth sailingafter you took care of Zack Rosenwell with some petty tricks? The one who’s really difficult to deal within Hunts & Co. isn’t him.”
Renee knew Stefan was talking about Sandra Lee, the partner she had yet to meet.
The career woman with a strong attitude and outstanding abilities was the true backbone of
Hunts & Co.
If Renee could not get past the obstacle that was Sandra Lee, Hunts & Co. would still be like a hotpotato that she could not eat nor throw away!
Stefan’s cold eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s. He did not miss the slightest change in Renee’s
expression.
He saw her doubts. Therefore, he generously gave her the chance to choose again.
“The divorce agreement hasn’t come into effect yet. If you’re regretting it, get on the car and we’llrenegotiate the distribution of assets. I’ll agree to any request you have as long as it’s not
unreasonable. There’s no need to use your uncle as a cover.”
In Stefan’s opinion, he was already doing the best he could as a future ex-husband. At the very least,he never thought of treating her unfairly in terms of money.
Renee lifted her thin eyebrows slightly, her lips curled into a faint smile, “Thank you, Mr. Hunt, but restassured from the moment I agreed to the divorce, every decision I made and
every
word I said came from the bottom of my heart. I will never regret them.”
The arrow had already been let fly. How could a dead heart come back to life with only a few goodwords?novelbin
Stefan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to discern whether her words were true.
At that moment, a silver sports car pulled up from behind.
“Sorry, my ride is here…”
Renee swayed past Stefan’s car. She smiled at him and said, “By the way, please don’t be late to
the divorce certificate in a week’s time, Mr. Hunt.”
